The teen’s alleged victim recanted her accusation more than two months after he was convicted. The boy has since been released from the Department of Juvenile Justice, but child advocacy attorneys are still working to get his conviction overturned and his name removed from the sex offender registry.

Olsen called the information “inaccurate and incomplete,” and is seeking permission to comment publicly on the case. At issue is the mental capacity of both the teen and the alleged victim.

Defense attorneys argued that allowing the prosecutor to speak could lead to the release of their client’s confidential information.
